21、   Do you think you’re smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores---on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.

IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?

Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.

Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data  and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers didn’t do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look  for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you  really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.

【1】The Flynn effect is ______.

A.not connected to our experiences

B.unknown in some parts of the world

C.an increase in IQ test scores over time

D.used to measure people’s intelligence

【2】According to the article, newer educational techniques include __ .

A.improving test scores

B.exposure to many tests

C.memorizing information

D.children finding things out themselves

【3】Why does the author mention computer games?

A.To encourage the reader to do more exercise instead of playing games.

B.To explain why more and more young people have poor vocabularies.

C.To give an example of technology improving our visual intelligence.

D.To show the fact that young people are not getting more intelligent.

【4】Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?

A.People today are taking easier tests.

B.People today have more visual intelligence.

C.People today have fewer problems to solve.

D.People today are more intelligent in every way.

23、From the moment we wake up each day, we’re faced with a continuous stream of choices. 【1】 This is decision fatigue (疲惫).

When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don’t have the mental capability to deal with more decisions. 【2】 And this can further cause you to avoid making certain choices entirely, to go with the wrong option or to make ones that aren’t in line with your goals or values, experts say.

Here’s how to minimize or manage this phenomenon:

【3】 When you go grocery shopping, use a master list that has the same staples (主要食物), and buy the same brands each time. 【4】 And if you’re trying to exercise regularly, devote a fixed time for it every day.

【5】 If you’ve had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one, if you can. If things that wouldn’t normally disturb you start bothering you, consider that a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision.

“People may not realize that they’re experiencing decision fatigue,” Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says. “It’s something to watch out for.”

A．Make some choices automatic.

B．Start from what is important to you.

C．Why is it so hard to make up your mind?

D．Be aware of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly.

E．This can lead to decisional inability or worn-down self-control.

F．If you like having oatmeal for breakfast, stick with it on a daily basis.

G．When there are too many options, we tend to feel anxious, stressed or otherwise out of sorts.

24、Late-night eating has long been connected to a higher risk for obesity or overweight, which can pose all kinds of risks to your heart.

【1】 A recent study found that when meals are delayed by four hours — say eating at 10:30 PM rather than 6:30 PM and keeping all other lifestyle factors the same, people burn fewer calories, have stronger appetite, and experience changes in fat tissue that promote weight gain, according to the study’s author.

The study was rather small, featuring only 16 overweight or obese people. 【2】 In the weeks before, they maintained a regular sleep schedule and stuck to identical diets and meal times at home. Each participant reported on their hunger and appetite, and provided data needed. Besides feeling hungrier, burning fewer calories, and showing changes in fat tissue, late eating also impacted the hunger-regulating hermones (荷尔蒙) ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is the hormone that tells you when to eat, while leptin tells you when you’ve had enough. 【3】

The solution may be relatively simple. Keeping your eating schedule in line with your body’s natural clock makes sense. 【4】 It can minimize weight gain and reduce the risk for high blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors. Besides, try eating a big breakfast, slightly smaller lunch, and small dinner with healthy snacks throughout the day. 【5】 So pay attention to portion (食物的一份) sizes and what you’re eating.

A．Of course, not everyone’s natural body clock is the same.

B．Researchers may have learned why meal timing could impact fat gain.

C．A survey has revealed that a growing number of people are overweight.

D．They each stuck to a strict early or late meal schedule for one day in a lab.

E．Remember, what you eat and how much is likely more important than when.

F．Eating more early in the day and less as it progresses may be the best strategy.

G．The study found that leptin dropped by 16 percent when people delayed their meals.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

US psychotherapist(精神治疗师) Virginia Satir (1916-1988) once said: “We need four hugs a day survival. We need eight hugs a day maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” She believed that hugging was necessary and important. Researchers have found scientific evidence that backs up her beliefs. According to a recent study published in the journal Psychological Science, receiving a hug can reduce stress and help protect us from illness.

In the study, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in the US invited 404 healthy adults to participate in interviews about how often the experienced conflicts in their daily lives, as well as how many hugs they received within a period of two weeks. These participants were intentionally exposed to cold viruses during the interview.

According to the research, people who received hugs on the same days when they experienced conflicts tended to report fewer negative feelings during the following days. They have also found that people who received hugs were less stressed out. The physical contact that we get through hugging especially loved ones, is a “marker of intimacy(亲密) and helps generate the feeling that others are there to help in the face of adversity(困境)”, according to Scientific American People feel more comfortable and relaxed after hugging.

The researchers have also found that the more hugs people get, the less likely they are to catch colds, Science Daily noted. When people receive hugs, they release more oxytocin(后叶催产素), which is also known as the “love hormone”. According to the researchers, this hormone can decrease one’s heart rate and lower blood pressure. This can put people into a state of emotional well-being. When people are in this state, their immune systems become stronger.

Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. But physical contact like hugging can comfort people without “making any judgments (about right or wrong)”, Michael Murphy from CMU told Time.
